GREENSBORO, NC -- Acknowledged: With three newspapers well attuned to local government and a determined corp of citizen journalists, Greensboro is the kind of town where politicians put themselves in peril when they argue a position founded on misrepresentations.
Thus Mayor Elect Robbie Perkins is starting off on the wrong foot when he premises his approach to the landfill on what Triadwatch says is a dead wrong assertion. There may be good reasons for Perkin's preference for a regional solution for trash disposal, but Triadwatch says one of those reasons is not, as Perkins asserted, that neighboring High Point will exhaust their landfill in five years. A High Point official says it's 25 years.
Please, Mr. Mayor Elect, keep your facts straight and don't blow smoke. It won't work here.
it was amazing to hear him say this and take 1 call to his bluff
ReplyDeleteWhat?
ReplyDeleteit only took one call to a high point city rep. to call perkins bluff on this issue. We will see if the local media and print in future hear him say this false statement on high point landfill to let him know that it is not true.
